I understand your position Zeake, If I was opening a shop to support myself I wouldn't be looking at this stuff.
I'm a DIY guy that likes to work on my own stuff, I don't expect this stuff to be at the level of the original/OEM but then again if I had to spend $4000 for one I would stick with the PC software I have now.
It's a balance between want and money for me,

No shop, I have a couple buddy's that I owe and they have in the past talked about these so I thought I would pick them up one also. If I purchase 3 the price drops pretty good along with the shipping costs.
We are DIY/hobby guys that like to do our own work.
I stumbled across a site/business that sells the complete tool along with the case for a good price , 1 year warranty along with servicing and tech support. I sent them a couple questions to see how they respond to get an idea of their customer support.
Thanks Neal

So I finally pulled the trigger and purchased one of these tools,
I just received it today and have spent about 10 minutes messing with it, keep in mind I have never seen one of these in action nor have I ever put my hands on one so this will be a learning experience for me.
I went ahead an purchased the TIS2000 software and dongle to unlock it along with the tool, the software and dongle added $12 to the purchase.
I've been watching videos online to try and learn how to use this scanner but once in my hand there a lot of options to work through.
I've plugged it into my 96 K1500 that I updated to the 0411 computer and it would not connect when I input my truck info but when I input the info of the van that the computer and tune is from it connected and started showing data right away.
More to come as I learn,

I am a GM master tech and have used the tech 2 for 19 years. It is a very useful tool, however Autel sells a global scan tool for 600-1000 on eBay that does everything the tech 2 can do plus all other makes from 1996 on.The tech 2 will not be able to do reflashes without a global login or a special GM lease for the info. You can use both scantools to look at data, perform crank relearn, and tons of other stuff. I have both and if I had to choose one ,I would pick the Autel because it will work on tons of stuff. If you have any questions please feel to PM me.
